    Any legal problems with buying AutoCad used? Can we save some money by
    buying a used copy and then trying to get a discount buying "upgrade"
    versions?

  2. As I understood Adesk doesn't allow to sell lcienses and upgrades the
    registered owner only..


    ...besides this only the most current AC versions can be upgraded!
    Everything older than AC14 (included, or is it AC2K already?) cannot
    be upgraded any more and needs to be new purchased *lol*

    A few years ago Autodesk basically took away the right of a purchaser to
    re-sell their software. Once you buy and register it you cannot sell it
    used.


    Ocassionally you see bargain copies that someone has purchased but not
    registered, but beware of Juarez.

    It's been more than a few years ago, hasn't it? Licensing the use of the
    software has pretty much been their practice.
